Answer:
They could have asked more than 100 people or it just went over because of the percentages and they didn’t know
Step-by-step explanation:
If you think of the "for every" as a : then it will make sense. So, replace the "for every" with a :.
So:
There are 5 strawberries for every 6 apples
Turns into
strawberries:apples = 5:6
Take measurements of what you want to draw, (e.g. a simple cube that is 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm.)
A full scale drawing would require you to draw the cube on a paper 100 cm x 100 cm x 100 cm.
If you want to 'scale', you would then redraw using new measurements. So, a 1/10 scale drawing would mean that you would redraw the cube on paper as 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm.
A 1/20 scale would be 5 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm. The same concept holds for all scale drawings.
X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
